Question
A 5-year-old girl has been experiencing diarrhea for the past two days, with symptoms of abdominal distension and pain around the navel. She has previously been treated with Cephalosporin and digestive aids. What illness might she have?
Answer
The girl’s condition may be caused by dyspepsia. Abdominal pain following diarrhea in a 5-year-old can be a symptom of enteritis. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a stool test to confirm the diagnosis. After confirmation, treatment with Cephalosporin capsules, bentonite powder, and navel patches can be effective. Please note the need to avoid colds, drink plenty of water, and pay attention to diet. Probiotics and other absorption aids can be taken to alleviate symptoms. Ensure the girl receives adequate hydration and calcium supplementation.
